' A resolution fixing a day^oi' adjourn ment, February tjtjfr^was laid on the table in^wHttouso. , ^?ft?u interesting. dieou ^slon took placo ^ on a bill pormitting employees of cotton mills to suo Biioh corporations for all injuries ooo ur ring in cotton mills. The Houso adjourned without deoidlng tho question. The Senate was in session only a short time. On Tuesday tho Houso and Senate bal lotted separately for Uulted Statos Sona tor. Hon. B. R. Tillman received all tho votes. Tho Sonato and nouso on joint ballot elected Miss Lucy Barron; of Clarendon, 'Hate Librarian on tho second ballot. Judge Gary was ro-elooted Judge of the Fifth Olrouit without opposition. Judge Townsend had opposition in the {)orsou of Sonator Hydride, of Spartan >urg. Judgo Townsond rocoived 89 votes and Sonator Hydriok 60. Judgo Townsend was ro-olectcd. Mr. W. H. Townsend, of Barnwell, was oleotod Codo Commissioner. Messrs. Sanders, Mobloy and Rowland "wero olooted Direotors of tho Peniten tiary. Mr. Kohn was olooted a Trustee of tho South Carolina College. Mr. Soaco was olootod a Trustoo of Clemson College. Tinsse elect ions consumed tho day and part of tho night. Tho grip aud smallpox havo caused SOmo uneasiness in tho city. Your Mr. J. W. Sholor was in tho city this wook on professional business. * * ?. . January 23.-At tho night session on . yestorday Capt. Grifllth was re-elected Superintendent of tho Penitentiary. * * * January 24.-Yestorday tho Houso decided to reduce tho State's 10 per cont profit from tho dispensary to 2 por cont, and thus, whilo nominally complying with tho constitutional requirements, revert tho bulk of tho prollts from tho general State fund to the treasuries of tho several municipalities and counties in which tho dispensaries aro located. Tho Houso had a busy day yesterday and accomplished a groat deal. Second reading bills woro waded into and dis posed of without coromouy. Thoro was not a third reading bill on tho calendar. Niuo bills passed second rending and two woro killed. The two latter woro tho bills t ) pr?vido a capitation dog tax, and to compensate tho victims of theft. At noon tho Sonato aud tho Houso met in joint session, and after tho vote for 1 lui te. 1 State? Senator had boon tabulated, Senator Sheppard, President of tho Sen ate, announced tho election of B. K. Till man tn bo United ?States Sonator. Thoro was quito an unexpected skir mish ovor Mr. C. E. Robinson's bill to amend tho act incorporating Clemson College. Tho bill provided that tho in corporation of Clemson College should not abrogate tho charters of tho towns of Calhoun and Contint. Col. Thompson, of Oconoo, opposed tho bill. He suspected that it would oventuato in dispensaries being estab lished in these towns. The President of tho Board of Trustees of Clemson Col logo, Col. Simpson, will bo boro in a day or two, and Mr. Thompson asked that action bo suspend ed until ho ho con sulted. Mr. Robinson, tho author of tho bill, explained its purport, and stated that ho would nccept an amendment forbidding tho establishment of a dispensary at Cal houn. Mr. n. J. Kinnrd wanted to know if blind tigers would bo suppressed if tho bill bo changed. Mr. I. M. 'Mauldin explained tho bill ns Mr. Robinson lind done. Mr. Mauldin is n graduate of Clemson mid declared that he would not advocate a mensuro injurious to his alma mator. The whole matter, as ho summed it up, is this: Tho incorporation Of Clemson Collego gives tho police magist i ate nt that place juris diction over all territory within a radius of five miles of tho college. Tho town of Calhoun is within that radius, and tho magistrate has been claiming that his authority is Buporior to that of tho town officials of Calhoun. But as Clemson is in ono county and Calhoun in another, it is argued that tho magistrate at Clem son lias no jurisdiction beyond his own county lino. The bill merely seeks to give tho local authorities at Calhoun tho right to police that town, which is within one milo of Clemson. Tho bill passed when amonded so that no dispensary will over bo established at Calhoun. Tho fight of tlio day which presented amusing features was over Capt. J. H. Brooks' bill to pr?vido for a capitation dog tax. This is a matter which has over been regarded lightly by some peo plo, hut it becomes moro and moro seri ous each year. A similar bill has boon presented every year for sovcral sessions and each time the author lias been laughed at. Capt. Brooks stated if any odium he attached to thu introduction of such a mensure, ho wns willing to enduro it in behalf of his constituency in eider to protect tho shcop raising industry in South Carolina. Tho bill was killed by a narrow mar gin, and it is probablo that Capt. Dean's bill on tho same subject has gained strength from the strong backing exhib ited by Capt. Brooks' bill. When tho bill carno up for second reading, Mr. Ashley opposed it. Dr. Woods, in favor of tho bill, said thoro aro thousands of people who keep dogs at the expense of their neighbors. Ho had known men who would neglect their work and almost starve on account of these dogs, just, to hear their music on a hunt. Half-famished dogs become infected with-hydrophobia and aro a menace to tho health of the country. Mr. Brooks, tho author of tho hill, said that ho had introduced it at tho re quest of a number of his constituents who aro engaged in sheep husbandry. That industry is not taking tho rank it should, and this bill would encourage it. Mr. R. B. A. Robinson, of Anderson, snid that the dog is taxed now as is other property. Tho dog is tho only thing a poor man can havo which tho rich man don't want a mortgago on. Mr. Wingo-Is it not trno that tho poor man owning so many dogs is what keeps him poor? Mr. Robinson-That's tho poor man's job, not mino. It's his privilogo to ho poor. Mr. Dennis, of Berkeley, made his maiden speed). He contended that dogs aro now taxed at five dollars each. Dogs aro not tho only animals which suffer with raines. FoxcH frequently go mnd. If tho dogs ho killed off, what will keep tho foxes from taking tho country? Mr. Sutler inquired if tho bill wore constitutional. Tho constitution pro vides that tho General Assembly cannot mnko a direct nssossmont. Mr. Brooks replied that tho constitu tion provides for n capital ion tax such ns thia. Mr. Rivons snid that tho Comptroller Gonoral's roport shows that dogs aro taxed to tho amount of $420,001 and sheep to tho amount of $53,826. This does not look Uko dogs aro not taxed properly now, Many a poor widow must .....-~4*>~,\-'-hUT.-V?^a ieepactogto guard her promise?, and ibo oould Ul afford to pay this tax. The vote waa thou taken on tho motion to strike out tho ouaotlug words. Dy a iroto of 68 to M the hill was kill.

"Cotton factor ios" wero stricken from the -bill by a largo majority. The bill then passed by a voto of 71 to 80. Thoro was much discussion in the Houso upon other, moasures. One of these, the lion law, was given a new loaso of life by a refusal to repeal the law. * * . .* January 20.-The Senate on yosterday passed the Charleston Exposition bill bv a vote of 27 to 6. Senator Horn don voted against tho bill. Ilia reason for voting against tho VAX was that it appeared to him tb bo unconstitutional. The bill was dlsoussed nearly all day. Tho House, by a vote of 71 to 88, de feated tho bill of Mr. Thomas, of Rich land, relating to a reorganization of the freo sohool system. The now measure is cumbersome and expensive.

January 27.-Tho House yesterday passed Mr, Stono's bill to allow all con victs whoso son to noes are not over ten years to bo used on oouuty ohningangs. Tho House bad a fow days before passed Mr. Weston's bill to pormit con victs-in city jails to bo leased to the county authorities.

There was a long discussion on a bill to regulato tho salo and use of fire arms. Tho bill passed-yeas, 05; nays, 80. It is a muon moro stringent law than that known as regulating "concealed wea pons." Tho House passed a bill to allow coun ties, whoro conviction for crime has boon had, to work all suoh convicts on the public roads, whoro they have been sen tenced for a term IOBS than ton years.

Tho House adopted tho Senate bill, oxcopt that tho State building should ho sold. Mr. Prince, of Anderson, had his drainage amendment to constitution and tho constitutional amendment relative to municipal indebtedness adopted. Tho smallpox scare has boon settled on tho report from tho medical com mittee. Josh Ashley said Anderson would Uko to have tho Legislature if it wanted to move. The Mother's Favorite. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is tho mother's favorite. It is pleasant and safo for children to take and always cures. It is intended especially for coughs, eolds, croup ana whooping cough, and is tho best medicine made for these diseases. Thoro is not the least danger in giving it to children, for it contains no opium or other injurious drug and may be given as confidently to a babe as vo an adult. For salo by J. W. hell. Congressman Latlmer at Work. Washington, January 28.-Representa tive Latin) or was at tho post ofneo de partaient yesterday in tho interest of the various post?nicos in his district. He secured from tho division of allowances and salary an extra allowance of fifty dollars for rent, of a suitable building for tho post oflico at Andorson and ono hun dred dollars for a now clerk in tho Bol ton post oflico. The former allowance commences the first day of July and the oxtra monoy for dork biro at tho Bolton post oflico com mences tho first of Fohruary. Mr. Lati mor intends to prosont an amendment to tho post otlico appropriation bill provid ing for free city dolivory in towns of flvo thousand population or over, and towns whoso post oflico receipts aro five thou sand dollars or ovor. The p^oBont law on this subject provides that only towns whoso population or postal receipts aro ton thousand or ovor shall havo froo city delivery, and as tho froo rural dolivery does not include towns or cities under ton thousand, these towns consequently havn no freo dolivory at all. In connec tion with this amendment ho intends to offer ono providing that towns undor flvo thousand population or five thousand dollars postal receipts shall havo tho freo rural dolivory, thoroby giving all towns and cities in tho United States froo dolivory. Mr. Lat i m er is working for tho Charles ton Exposition and mattors of a local nature.
